For those of you that are disfellowshipped, disassociated, a fader, or formerly non-baptized publishers.. if you had your funeral in a Church, would your JW friends or relatives come to it? I was telling him the other day that I want to have my funeral service in my church, and that my JW relatives would *not* come to it. He could hardly believe that.

I can't think of ten people that would go no matter where it was held. Mav
I told my hubbie to do whatever he wants cause I'll be gone.

Country Girl, who is "Him" ?
At any rate, I wish to be cremated and my remains buried with my kin in our local cemetary. I do not wish to be viewed except as the day I died. My loved ones will want to see me one last time. That is ok with me. No embalming or viewing in a public sense.
A simple woman simply laid to rest for me.
I'd expect at least 250 people to be present.
..and if anyone didn't turn up, I'd haunt 'em!

i've thought about this one...
...the news will go around like a bad cold "did you hear the satan worshipping apostate is dead?" "i'm so glad she died before armageddon...now maybe she'll have a chance!" "that's what you get when you leave Jehovah's Organization... this is a lesson for us." "i heard it was a suicide" "i heard she died during a Satanic ritual." "i heard her husband poisoned her because he got tired of hearing all that Apostate stuff." "she should have stayed a witness...none of this would have happened!"
a few may come...just to see what a dead apostate looks like...
then they'll all go out to Denny's... gossip about me some more, make a horrible mess and "forget" to leave a tip.
Magick,
Would it be wrong of me to be laughing my ass off? It it is wrong, please know that I am not doing that.

I'm sure there would be no active JW's there, except maybe for my ex-wife, who would turn up just to make sure I was really dead (which she apparently prayed to both Jehovah and Satan to have happen). She'd also want to find out how long it would take to cash in the life insurance I maintain to protect her alimony award.
Other than that, there would likely be my current wife, my daughter and her husband, possibly a handful of ex-JW friends, and several from my church. Let's just say they wouldn't have to rent Madison Square Garden for the ceremony.
Actually, now that I think of it, my ex wouldn't go to the service, since it would likely be held in the Baptist church I now belong to, and she'd be afraid the demons would jump out of the pews and grab her. If she absolutely HAD to go in order to collect the insurance money, though, I have no doubt she would take the chance...
